Chadwick's Next Strategic Plan: An Overview
In April 2022, Chadwick launched a comprehensive strategic planning process, which will culminate with the development of the school’s next strategic plan. The Roessler-Chadwick Foundation (RCF) Board of Trustees is leading our efforts, undertaking an inclusive process that involves voices from across our community and includes an extended period of reflection and learning. Through our work, we will identify our most important strategic priorities and initiatives, which will guide the school. The Strategic Plan will be shared with the Chadwick community in Spring 2023.
Strategic Planning Timeline
Strategic Planning Committee
The RCF Board of Trustees consulted with Chadwick community leaders to identify 22 individuals to serve on the Strategic Planning Committee. These individuals represent trustees, administrators, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and students who work together under the guidance of the RCF Board to lead our strategic planning process. They bring a variety of skills, backgrounds and perspectives to our work, which they undertake on behalf of, and through the inclusion of, the entire Chadwick community.
Strategic Planning Design Teams
The Strategic Planning Design Teams are composed of 28 additional faculty, trustees, parents, and alumni. The following three Design Teams are tasked with imagining Chadwick’s strategic future in each of these three critical areas. Specifically, the Design Teams will focus their efforts on developing strategic direction in the following areas:
-
Enhance and Innovate
Core Curricular and Co-Curricular Programs, Faculty and Staff Development, Recruitment and Retention -
Clarify and Inspire
Institutional Purpose and Identity, Strategic Imperatives and Visioning -
Sustain and Mobilize
Leadership, Finance, Facilities, Strategic Enrollment Management, Local, Regional and Global Relationships
While these three distinct areas have been identified as being crucial to our long-term growth, two focus areas that underlie everything we undertake now and in the future and are integral to the work of the Design Teams are Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and Wellness. The Design Teams will meet several times through early winter before sharing their ideas with the entire Strategic Planning Committee.
